Pros

Working hours are quite flexible. Opportunity to explore within the same firm in different functions is abundant.

Cons

No cona so far. Some systems/softwares do need an upgrade. Otherwise the overall experience so far has been enriching.

Bureaucratic nightmare

Pros

Good people in the Canadian office, good benefits, work from home option, nice office. Summer and X-Mas events.

Cons

There is an attempt to get 1.5 or 2 or 3 FTE for the price of one. They don't want to pay for the number of staff they should have, or for overtime, but nonetheless expect all the work to get done. Needlessly bureaucratic , which isn't helped by embarrassingly out of date technology that keeps everything moving at a snail's pace. Bizarre and illogical reporting structures that needlessly have Canadian staff reporting to people in the US who shouldn't be managing anyone in any country. No annual raises post 2008 despite the fact that the financial crisis was a decade ago and the company posts profits in the billions.
